Scaling Isoprene Fluxes from Leaves to Canopies: Test Cases over a Boreal Aspen and a Mixed Species Temperate Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rate at which isoprene is emitted by a forest depends on an array of environmental variables, the forest?s biomass, and its species composition. At present it is unclear whether errors in canopy-scale and process-level ...
Comparison of Grasping Performance of Tendon and Linkage Transmission Systems in an Electric-Powered Low-Cost Hand Prosthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The popularization of fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology and open-source microcontrollers has permitted the explosion of electric hand prostheses that can be designed, shared, built, and operated at a low cost, ...
Eastern U.S. Verification of Ensemble Precipitation Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he quality of ensemble precipitation forecasts across the eastern United States is investigated, specifically, version 2 of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Ensemble Forecast System Reforecast ...
Linking Meteorology, Turbulence, and Air Chemistry in the Amazon Rain Forest
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e describe the salient features of a field study whose goals are to quantify the vertical distribution of plant-emitted hydrocarbons and their contribution to aerosol and cloud condensation nuclei production above a central ...
FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem–Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: FLUXNET is a global network of micrometeorological flux measurement sites that measure the exchanges of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and energy between the biosphere and atmosphere. At present over 140 sites are operating ...
